The report, prepared by the Centre for Strategy & Evaluation Services (CSES) and Blomeyer & Sanz, looks at how sport and physical activity can be a powerful means of achieving the objectives of EU cohesion policy.

A new study sheds light on sport policy in the EU, as well as the problems facing Member States, and has already led to reforms in some countries. Launched in 2014, the study was carried out by the Institut für Sportwissenschaft und Sport of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
